Schluter-DILEX-AHK is an perimiter joint profile used to seperate tile fields at floor-to-wall joints and transitions, forming the visible surface between the two. The profile is specifically designed for tension relief of tile fields, preventing damage due to movement over time. The AHK profile is built from Aluminum for long term durability, while the brushed graphite anodized aluminum finish adds a touch of class to any tiled room.

Product Features

Pure Aluminum ConstructionThis profile is constructed from aluminum, giving it the durability it needs to last for many years without the worry of breakage or bending.

Trapezoidal Anchor PatternSchluter-DILEX-AHK profiles use an alternating trapezoidal pattern of anchoring holes for adherence to mortar. This pattern gives optimal movement stability in all directions.

Q: Are the Schluter cove profiles suitable for wall-to-wall and wall-to-ceiling corners in a tub-surround? Also, if used in that application, are the warranties for the cove profile and Kerdi Board in effect?by Mike from New York on March 24, 2016

A: Yes, Schluter's cove profiles such as the DILEX-AHK are certainly suitable for wall-to-wall and floor-to-wall transitions. However I would probably recommend going with a movement joint profile such as the DILEX-EKE series for your wall-to-ceiling transition. That way you have a little more room for movement/expansion along the wall which sounds like it will be completely tiled from floor to ceiling. In any case, the Schluter warranty should still be honored regardless of the profile you choose. For complete details, please review the manufacturer's warranty as linked below.

This is a well made product and I like the look, but it did not work as well as expected in my shower because it does not conform to the slope of the floor. If I had known about Bostik urethane grout when I started the shower I would have just run the floor tile under the wall tile and grouted the joint. I used the DILEX so I would not have to caulk the corner, but modern urethane grouts can be used in corners, so no caulking anyway.
